2/5

Gavin Martin

Her solo album was a revelation though, proving that maybe she didn't really need the Banshees for all those years. Here Comes That Day is a massive, cinematic anthem - the horn section powering the song along with subtle strings of the type Ian Brown employed for The World Is Yours. It struts along quite magnificently, sounding like the greatest James Bond theme never written.

There's also a nice undercurrent of tension too, just in case you feared Ms Sioux was going too poppy - the industrial beats underpinning the song lending it an uneasy air. 50 years young and still going strong, if you've ever heard the name and wondered why she's so influential, check this out immediately.

What in the world is happening?
What in the world could this be?
I'm on the verge of an awakening
A new kind of strength for me

I feel a force I've never felt before
I don't want to fight it anymore
Feelings so strong can't be ignored
I burst out - I'm transformed

Rising up, shaking it off
The yesterday dreary
Graceful and strong, No more forlorn
Today's a jubilee
Don't be surprised
This change is my design

I feel a force I've never felt before
I don't  want to fight it anymore
Feelings so strong can't be ignored
I burst out - I'm transformed

I feel a force I've never felt before
I can't hold it down I've just got to soar
And laugh in the face that is vulture law
I burst out, I'm transformed

I feel a force I've never felt before
I don't want to fight it anymore
Feelings so strong can't be ignored
I burst out - I'm transformed

I feel a force I've never felt before
I can't hold it down I've just got to soar
And laugh in the face that is vulture law
I burst out - I'm transformed
I burst right out - Into a swan
I burst out into a swan

What in the world is happening?
What in the world could this be?
I'm on the verge of an awakening
A new kind of strength for me

I feel a force I've never felt before
I don't want to fight it anymore
Feelings so strong can't be ignored
I burst out - I'm transformed

Rising up, shaking it off
The yesterday dreary
Graceful and strong, No more forlorn
Today's a jubilee
Don't be surprised
This change is my design

I feel a force I've never felt before
I don't  want to fight it anymore
Feelings so strong can't be ignored
I burst out - I'm transformed

I feel a force I've never felt before
I can't hold it down I've just got to soar
And laugh in the face that is vulture law
I burst out, I'm transformed

I feel a force I've never felt before
I don't want to fight it anymore
Feelings so strong can't be ignored
I burst out - I'm transformed

I feel a force I've never felt before
I can't hold it down I've just got to soar
And laugh in the face that is vulture law
I burst out - I'm transformed
I burst right out - Into a swan
I burst out into a swan

Your house of cards
Is tumbling all around you
With it's feet of clay
And you pretend that it doesn't matter
And that you're not scared

Here comes that day
Here comes the rain on your parade
There's a price to pay
For a life of insincerity

Always smiling - Never with a frown on
A mask of hidden tears
Have the courage
To say what you mean now
And mean what you say

Here comes that day
Here comes the rain on your parade
There's a price to pay
For a life of insincerity

You wanted life uncomplicated
Only pleasantries
And like a fool
You thought life could be cheated
Of life's realities

Here comes that day
Here comes the rain on your parade
There's a price to pay
For a life of insincerity

It's in the air
Super still
That calm before
The hunter kill
The sky will crack
The earth might split
I feel a dread
In my stomach pit

It's about to happen
It's about to show
Can you feel it tighten?
Can you feel it grow?

Tension mounts
About to blow
Tension builds
Crescendo!
I can't contain it
I'm fit to burst
All Supernova
In a big band fist

I can't explain it
I can't contain it
Right here right now
In the here and now
It's about to happen
It's about to show
Can you feel it tighten?
Can you feel it grow?

Get up - Get out
Don't hang about
Get up - Get out

It's in the air - Super still
That calm before ..
The sky will crack
The earth might split
I feel a dread...

Get up - Get out
Don't hang about
Get up - Get out

Don't cry
Don't fear
A healing voice
Kiss your ear

In your dreams in
Your vision
A gentle voice
Speaking wisdom

If it doesn't kill you
It will shape you
If it doesn't break you
It will make you

Dry your eyes
Shed no tears
A healing voice
Caress your ear

Dream of flight
In rocket ship
Piercing through
Lunar eclipse

Don't be bitter
Don't be gloomy
All your torment
Flowers blooming

If it doesn't kill you
It will shape you
If it doesn't break you
It will make you

Don't be afraid
Don't shed a tear
I'm here

If it doesn't kill you
It will shape you
If it doesn't break you
It will make you

Hello, I love you
Wont you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
Hello, I love you
Wont you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game

Shes walking down the street
Blind to every eye she meets
Do you think youll be the guy
To make the queen of the angels sigh?

Hello, I love you
Wont you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
Hello, I love you
Wont you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game

She holds her head so high
Like a statue in the sky
Her arms are wicked, and her legs are long
When she moves my brain screams out this song

Sidewalk crouches at her feet
Like a dog that begs for something sweet
Do you hope to make her see, you fool?
Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel?

Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello
I want you
Hello
I need my baby
Hello, hello, hello, hello

It's in the air
Super still
That calm before
The hunter kill
The sky will crack
The earth might split
I feel a dread
In my stomach pit

It's about to happen
It's about to show
Can you feel it tighten?
Can you feel it grow?

Tension mounts
About to blow
Tension builds
Crescendo!
I can't contain it
I'm fit to burst
All Supernova
In a big band fist

I can't explain it
I can't contain it
Right here right now
In the here and now
It's about to happen
It's about to show
Can you feel it tighten?
Can you feel it grow?

Get up - Get out
Don't hang about
Get up - Get out

It's in the air - Super still
That calm before ..
The sky will crack
The earth might split
I feel a dread...

Get up - Get out
Don't hang about
Get up - Get out
